.30-06? .270? or .308?
« Reply #30 on: August 31, 2003, 05:25:58 PM »
I teach high school during the day and college classes at night. I have a tiny little "study" crammed with books, computers, and guns I now own. There is just no room for another chair let alone table space for a reloader and supplies. When I emailed Eben about the #1 in Swede he suggested the 97D in 6.5BRM. I would love to get the 97D, but I can't just run down to the local K-Mart (or ANY sporting goods store in my area) and get 6.5BMR ammo. He sells it, but it's pricy. So far I've managed to purchase rifles in calibers that were easy to find anywhere in case of an "emergency," as in leaving in a rush and forgetting something—the ammo. It hasn't happened yet, but I've heard of several folks that have. With the absent-minded professor, it's just a matter of time. I'd like to get a Dillon press, but I really don't know where I'd put it. Nor do they appear to list the 6.5BMR as one of their dies/conversion kits. Most (not all) of the 97Ds seem to be for the serious reloader. I hope to do that someday . . . It just isn't in the near future.

Hey Griz,
   I know that space problem, for a time I was forced to use a Lyman acculine hand press, and the coffee table. It worked, but took a little extra caution.  Oh, and Eben has dies. :D

Again showing my ignorance about reloading, his dies will work on a Dillon press?

Should, unless Dillon uses something other than a 7/8x14 thread.
